What do you do while you eat?

What are you doing while you are eating? This is a common question that I ask many of my clients. The typical response is that most people are either watching tv or working on the computer while they eat. A simple trick that can help your body composition is to get away from everything when you have your meals and just eat. Step away from the computer, turn off the tv, and enjoy your food. For many people this is easier said than done. By making some time to relax while you eat you will lower your cortisol levels, which will help you lose some of the fat on your stomach. If you are a person who works right through lunch this little break will definitely help you. One of my facvorite quotes by Paul Chek is that "you should drink your food, and chew your liquids." This means that you need to chew your food until it becomes liquid. So the next time you eat get away from everything, take your time and chew your food.
